Session Android is the official mobile client for Session, a privacy-first messaging protocol that enables secure, anonymous messaging without requiring phone numbers, email addresses, or centralized user accounts. Built natively for Android, the app lets users send and receive end-to-end encrypted text messages, voice notes, images, and attachments in both one-on-one and group chats, all while routing data through a decentralized onion-routing network designed to protect not just message content but also metadata like sender ID, timing, and network location. ...

...Built in Java and licensed under the AGPL-3.0 license, this server software handles protocols for delivering encrypted messages, synchronizing user metadata like public keys and push tokens, and providing REST and service APIs for the client apps to interact with. Although cryptographic operations and message confidentiality are managed by the client side using the Signal Protocol, the server ensures message routing, user registration, and group updates without having access to the decrypted contents. Its codebase is public to ensure transparency and auditability for a security-focused community willing to inspect how message metadata and delivery mechanisms are implemented.
